Aros Window Air Conditioner Can Be Controlled by Your Smartphone

General Electric and Quirky—the New York start-up that develops consumer products online by crowdsourcing inventors—have teamed up to launch a window air-conditioner that you can control via a smartphone.

Aros, as the window AC unit will be called, has smart, Internet-accessible controls similar to the Nest thermostat. Its main interface is the Wink app, which can be used to control a family of smart-home products co-developed by Quirky and GE.
